Having discovered that Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA (MAMZ) a.k.a. "Kos" of DailyKos) has a long history of activism for the Republican Party and, furthermore, he trained and worked with the US CIA between 2001 and 2003, research has revealed and established the following, and therefore justice and history now bring this thirty-one count Indictment.

Visitor Asks, "Is Markos Moulitsas Openly Gay?"

For instance, US Senator Larry Craigopposed gay rights at every turn before being caught by police soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom. It is in this context that we should read the letter below in which MAMZ opposed any and all gay participation in the Armed Forces.

More than anything else, a letter that MAMZ wrote and published at his college newspaper has indelibly connected the name "Markos C. A. Moulitsas Zúñiga" with homosexuality in the minds of the blogging and reading public. Initially, the public wanted to know whether MAMZ was gay. Now, some of the public (that pays any attention to him) apparently has concluded that MAMZ is gay and they have moved on to the question of whether he is openly gay.

I then began my own independent research and quickly found astounding facts, sources and issues that MAMZ had left out of those mainstream media interviews, including the articles and a letter to the editor that MAMZ had written when he was a student and participant in the Northern Illinois University's "Northern Star" student newspaper.

Among other strange opinions (for one who now claims to be a liberal), I discovered a letter to the editor, written by MAMZ in 1993, in which he expressed serious concerns about heterosexuality and homosexuality in the context of his experiences in the US Army. MAMZ said he vehemently opposed ALL participation by homosexuals in the US Armed Forces, saying, "There is something inherently uncomfortable about it."

With the discovery that MAMZ had been the 1980's and 1990's equivalent of a US Army Hitler Youth, it was nonetheless the letter expressing such angst about the hurt masculinity of those such as himself who spent time with naked gays that has caused so many people suspect that MAMZ himself is gay. Most people understand by now that there is a connection between publicly vehemently hating gays and privately loving and desiring them. "Is Markos Moulitsas (DailyKos) a Closeted Gay Homophobe Blogger?"

One study,using electronic penis engorgement sensors, showed that the men who most vehemently oppose homosexuals and homosexuality are also men who show the most penis engorgement while viewing men engaged in explicit homosexual sex acts. For instance, US Senator Larry Craigopposed gay rights at every turn before being caught by police soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom.

In other words, the more a person hates and/or fears gays and publicly oppose gay rights, the more the public should investigate that person's own sexuality to determine whether his/her professed attitude toward gays is merely a way of distracting attention from his own homosexuality and, some sayeffeminate behavior, by targeting others for being gay.

It is in this context that we should read the letter in which MAMZ opposed any and all gay participation in the Armed Forces. I quote the entire letter below so that members of the public who are asking, "Is Markos Moulitsas openly gay?" can find this letter in Google searches and decide for themselves whether his position on gay rights (when he was 22 years old and he was trained by the CIA before he announced that he was a progressive) is relevant to questions about MAMZ's own sexuality.

It’s truly disturbing how much ado has been made over Bill Clinton’s campaign promise to lift the ban on homosexuals from the U.S. military. It’s ironic how it has taken a president who has never served in the military to make a promise that affects the military in such a negative manner. Those who have served in the military, such as myself, understand the demands and pressures of military life are incompatible with allowing integration with homosexuals.

I’m neither socially conservative or prejudiced, and neither is liberal columnist Mike Royko, Gen. Colin Powell, and influential liberal Democrats Sam Nunn and Les Aspin, all who’ve come out against lifting the ban. Under military circumstances, as much has to be done as possible to focus the unit’s mission and keep disciplinary problems to a minimum.

Worrying about whether the known homosexual sleeping next to you is watching as you change your underwear may seem trivial as you read this, but to the soldier who’s short-tempered after three weeks in the field and four hours of daily sleep, it becomes a matter of great importance to his pride and sensibilities.

And in any case, there aren’t many people who would change clothes in a group of co-workers if members of the opposite sex were in the same room watching. There is something inherently uncomfortable about it. Such fears would go a long way in disrupting efficiency and morale in a unit.

I have stated before that, with MAMZ ostensibly "Crashing the Gates" of the Democratic Party, it should be of far greater concern to progressives and Democrats that MAMZ has acknowledged,on an audiotape, (see Transcript) that he was training to be a "secret agent" in "clandestine services" at the US CIA during 2002, when he started the supposedly "leftist," "liberal," "progressive" DailyKos blog. This one fact brings into question all that MAMZ has said about himself and politics since then and before then, and also leads us to question the motivation of his letter publicly professing his "inherently uncomfortable" relationship with gays.

To this day, MAMZ has wrapped himself in the trappings of marriage and fatherhood, as did Senator Larry Craig, but MAMZ has not publicly and directly stated that he gay or that he is not gay. He has said, however, that joining the US Army was something he did, or was glad he did, in order to remove doubts about his manhood.

Particularly with MAMZ saying, "There's a reason most vets running for office this year are running as Democrats," readers perceive his ambition for public office and/or power. Each day people Google MAMZ to find out, "Is Markos Moulitsas openly gay," and then they come to the Truth About Kos blog.

MAMZ claims that he was unmanly when he joined the army, but then he got a "rebuild" and came out a "real man.' In light of his letter to the editor, the public wants to understand what "rebuild" MAMZ got while living in the military's all-male dormitories, and whether the experience really changed MAMZ in the ways he claims it did. His letter to the editor shows that Army basic training really did not resolve all of his issues in this regard.

I was curious if Kos is gay after watching him on Olbermann today. His voice and general aura seemed like the very stereotypical homosexual, the type I call "gay impersonators". What you are saying in your articles is quite interesting though. It doesn't really matter if he's gay or straight, but that CIA stuff is kind of odd. It does wander a little into the territory of conspiracy theory, however we know from the history of things like Operation Mockingbird that it's not completely wild to speculate on it.

"Sure, I could always talk against racism, fight ignorance and prejudice wherever I ran into it, yet I would always be looking in from another room and I could always close the door. My life, in my world, in my own detached selfishness. And as I left the ugly reality of racism behind, it struck me that what was such an easy and trivial exercise for me would be impossible for anyone whose skin color or religious persuassion (sic) made them the target of bigotry and discrimination. THEY would never be able to escape who THEY were." (Emphasis added.)

"When they 'crash the gates', will they take our cross?"

"A candidate's religion continues to play a key role in shaping vote choice. Nearly four-in-ten (39%) say they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who is Christian. Moreover, 63% say they would be less inclined to support a presidential candidate who does not believe in God – the most negative trait tested."

New online book says Kos family member is president of the Association of Salvadoran Hotels and president of the Salvadoran National Tourism Board. Moulitsas lied when he said his family is not wealthy or influential.

If a Link Here Doesn't Work . . .

If a link doesn't work, be patient. Look for an updated link in the articles below, use the search function in the top left, and/or look to this list of all but one of the articles written by Markos C. A. Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ) when he was at Northern Illinois University (NIU), writing extreme right-wing letters to the editor. Interestingly, the one known missing article still is not in the archives although it was faxed to me by Northern Star staff and republished here.
That article was the first in a series of five articles about "racism", four of which were assigned tasks and described the "racism" and religious persecution problems on campus based on interviews.

"And as I left the ugly reality of racism behind, it struck me that what was such an easy and trivial exercise for me would be impossible for anyone whose skin color or religious persuassion (sic) made them the target of bigotry and discrimination.

Atty. Francis L. Holland in the Media

"Francis L. Holland, one of the vocal black bloggers, sent e-mails to DNC officials asking that 15 black-operated blogs be added to the State Corps. "There is nothing 'Democratic' about an all-white Democratic National Convention floor blogging corps," he wrote in an e-mail. Holland is also asking for the inclusion of 15 Latino-operated blogs."

"Or, as Obama supporter Francis L. Holland puts it: "So, it shows tremendous courage, foresight and solidarity that Edwards has endorsed Obama after the media declared Hillary's campaign to be as good as dead, right? Oh, well! Better late than never!"

"Of the blogs covering the convention, black blogs will be 7.2% of the blogs present,” says Francis L. Holland of the Afrosphere Action Coalition. According to Holland, many states with a strong black Democratic presence and population are either underrepresented or not represented at all, even though black bloggers from these states did apply. “The state of Tennessee, which often has over 25% blacks among its Democratic primary voters, will not have a single black blogger at the Democratic National Convention, for example. The District of Columbia, which is 60% black, will be left out. Louisiana, which is 32.4% black, will be left out. Illinois, the presidential nominee’s home state, which is 15% black, will be left out.”

In 2008, the Democratic "party came under fire from African American bloggers. Francis L. Holland of the Afrosphere Action Coalition, complained to Black Enterprise magazine that black blogs only made up slightly more than 7% of the bloggers credentialed for the convention."

"We are tired of Hillary Clinton telling America that we are less than American simply because we refuse to vote for her," said Francis L. Holland, an African American blogger." Ironically, the Clintons embraced us, and even embraced Pastor Jeremiah Wright for support during their impeachment scandal." Holland was speaking of the congressional trial that followed former president Bill Clinton's liaison with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. "She has forfeited the black vote for the foreseeable future with her color aroused appeals."

“November’s voter turnout depends on August’s blogger outreach,” said Mr. Holland of the Afrosphere Action Coalition., a member of a national and international black bloggers’ coalition called “The AfroSpear.” “Blogs address constituencies, and it simply is not possible for blogs that are all-white to effectively reach diverse Democratic constituencies.”

"Of the blogs covering the convention, black blogs will be 7.2% of the blogs present," says Francis L. Holland of the Afrosphere Action Coalition. According to Holland, many states with a strong black Democratic presence and population are either underrepresented or not represented at all, even though black bloggers from these states did apply. “The state of Tennessee, which often has over 25% blacks among its Democratic primary voters, will not have a single black blogger at the Democratic National Convention, for example. The District of Columbia, which is 60% black, will be left out. Louisiana, which is 32.4% black, will be left out. Illinois, the presidential nominee's home state, which is 15% black, will be left out."

"Francis Holland is a blogger from Afrospear, a national group of bloggers that advocates for African-Americans. When he looked at the list of State Bloggers, he saw no black blogs among them. Holland explains that the process the Democratic Convention planners used to choose the State Blogger Corps was bound to lead to this result. And he argues that the Democratic Party can scarcely afford to alienate black voters in this election year." (The original link no longer works, which is becoming a growing documentation problem on the Internet.)

"Electing Edwards to challenge the status quo is like supporting a queen to challenge the monarchy or integrating an all-white club by adding more all-white club members. It is possible that electing yet another white man to the Presidency will end the poverty of the historically disenfranchised, with John Edwards serving as a "pass through" for those who have historically been disincluded legally and by custom. But this is a very convoluted way of achieving what could be achieved much more directly by electing Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. ..."
